What Does Earth Day Mean to Ayanna?

I think earth day is a time to practice gratitude for the earth and reflect on how we as individuals can better take care of it. As a person who has always been appreciative of nature, I think earth day is an opportunity for people like me to share that appreciation with others and spread awareness about larger issues facing our planet. Earth day should be everyday but April 22nd is a rare occasion in which the world’s focus is on environmental appreciation that can be used as a tool for advocacy and spreading the word about ecological issues and in turn, inspire action.
